VICIOUS BODYBUILDING.

EDITOR BULLETIN 1T is wise and
appropriate TO commend rs you did
on Friday the very thorough repair
of the lower part of Liliha street.
The new road supervisor, Mr.. Alapai,
is showing some energy, and should
be encouraged.
was glad, however, to see terms
of qualification in your commenda-
ton. Although you refrained from
growing about "some faults of con-
struction," | desire to point out
and emphasize one radical fault, be-
cause it seems to be characteristic of
much OF the road repairs now going
on.
"A thick layer OF lumpy coral has
been placed at the bottom" you tell
u. Now, sir, ever since McAdam
tiourished, and good roads after his
methods, no well-informed maker of
road will ever allow n stone of over
egg size to go into that road. The
exceptions to this rule are where
paving is required for heavy traffic,
or where causeways and waterways
must be heavily stoned to meet storm
water. In roads for ordinary travel,
the only proper method is to throw
up first well-rounded foundation OF
earth, entirely free from stones.
Upon this spread layer OF only
few inches of finely broken stone of
uniform size. Small gravel will
always answer good purpose, ii
free from boulders. This surface
speedily forms smooth hard crust
over the earth, which is substantially
impervious to water, and our road
is both smooth and durable, if any
care is taken OF the drainage.
This was McAdam's discovery.
The Roman and British world had
before lived in ignorance OF this
simple principle. They had gone on
fatuously for ages, "a many of our
island road-nakers continue to do,
filling in muddy places with loads Of
heavy stone. For how shall a road
be solid and hard, GnIess YOU lay
foundation Of solid rock.9 McAd4ra
taught them that nothing could be
more nicely and durably hard than
simply good earth covered with a
layer of small stones and we'll
rolled.
But our road-makers neglecting to
learn, trudge on in the ancient
vicious and wasteful method, which
civilized people have discarded. On
Liliha street fully twice, nearly
thrice the coral necessary has been
used. With the earth well-rounded
up as it was, six inches or eight at
most of small coral would have been
ample. Not coral stone larger
than an egg or an apple should have
been allowed to go into that road.
All the coral should have been
broken up small.
To eXpend one hundred cart loads
of coral where fifty would have done
better work, is wasteiul. ] also
called that method vicious. Why
vicious? Ride over Liliha street one,
two, or three years hence, according
to wear, when the big stones begin
to protrude, and your wheels Jolt and
tumble over them, and you will APP
preciate the truth of the epithet.
Coral, however, is soft and yields
somewhat to hard knocks. But if
there happens to be blue rock here
and there mixed up with it, that
will have no mercy. The soft brown
tufa from Punchbowl, which has
been so abundantly used in the
vicious way, is also soft, and gives
one few thumps. That simply grinds
to slush. Fine coral packs solid and
stays SO, it is one of the very best of
road coverings, as witness Palama
road,

Another evil quality Of large stones
in road is that they make it per-
vious to water. Packed rounded-up
earth, encrusted with fine stone, is
practically impervious, unless neg
lected drainage browns its sides.
Leave large stones underneath, and
there is unequal yielding and crack
ing OF the earth bed, and the water
enters.in rainy weather, the road bed
becomes uneven, and the rocks pro-
trude. 1t is thoroughly vicious
system in every way. Never put a
single large stone in your road. Let
your road be as tabu against stones
as the mattress you sleep ON.
If anyone wishes to see the last
extreme of vicious and wasteful
road-building, let him drive out one
half mile beyond Kalihi bridge, to
where u native luna with few pri-
soners is most laboriously building
heavy causeway of large rocks,
chinked with smaller ones, of depth
in the middle of the road of about
1S inches. There was bad place
there during the rainy season, rocky
and muddy. All that it needed was
to have the stones dug out which
| some foolish road-maker had formerly
put there, heap up the earth well in
| the middle, and open the neglected
drainage. An earth road was all
that was needed Now, probably 100
cart loads OF rocks have been piled
in, and the road will be permanently
impossible, except ut walk.
At Moanalua schoolhousc, the alb
sencc of drainage had converted the
smooth narrow street into quag-
mirc. Our Jealous road supervisor
instead of opening drainage, has
piled in bed of rocks foot thick
for 200 feet in length and covered
them with 6 inches of gravel and
boulders. You can try to trot over
it, if you are regardless of your
wheels, or your bones.
This is good long growl and l
will stop. The money will probably
continue to he wasted, and our roads
put into a permanent condition of
malignity-rocky causeways instead
OF streets. Mahalo paha! b.
| I'VE most heartily endorse every
word Of the foregoing. 1t is a
repetition of the doctrine the Bull
LETIN has been ever and anon in
sisting upon.-ED.

Worth it's Weight in Gold.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
One of the most valuable and rarest arti-
cles ever to be found in wholesale drug
gist's is ambergris 1t is worth about as
much as its weight in gold, and sells for SIS
to SIS per ounce. Very few houses in the
world have any in stock, 1t is extensively
used by perfumery manufacturers and
yields the delicate perfume which is SO
much admired, known as "New Mown
Hay"
Ambergris is produced in the intestines of
diseased sperm whale. The color of the
best grade is usually gray with brown, yell
low and white streaks, with the exterior of
brownish black. In the poorer qualities it
is entirely black
The disease which causes the formation of
ambergris is fatal, and after death the body
decomposes and the substance, being lighter
than water, floats off and is sometimes
thrown up on the beach of various countries
in the southern hemisphere, and at other
times is found floating ON the sea.
1t is usually found in small pieces, but O
mass as large as 200 pounds has been found
floating on the water in the Pacific Ocean.
The largest piece OF ambergris ever discov-
cred was taken from a whale by the schooner
Waterman, of Nantucket, 1853 Prior to
this the stories as to the origin of this sub
stance were numerous and conflicting, but
this settled the matter once for all, for in
the interior OF sperm whale captured by
that vessel were found over $40 pounds of
ambergris in one mass
Several large lots have been found since
One lot of 266 pounds was found about five
years ago by New Bedford whaler A lot
of $50 pounds was brought in last August,
and the captain stated that although he had
been whaling for thirty years and never
killed a sperm whale without looking for
ambergris, this is the first lie had ever seen.
This was taken from one whale and was
sold in Boston.
The supply of ambergris is rapidly dimin-
ishing, as the whaling vessels are being al
most entirely done away with, and the yes
sells that were formerly engaged in whaling
are now rotting TO pieces in New Bedford.
There is no money to be made in whaling
now, for the petroleum products fill the de
mand, and where one or two good trips in
former years insured the captain life of
ease and comfort, the owners of a whaling
vessel are fortunate now if they can pay
expenses after three years cruise.
These vessels are practically worthless for
any other purpose, as they are built TO
withstand heavy seas and not for speed, and
would not do for coasting. A short time
ago two-fifths Of good whaling vessel was
sold, TO settle an estate, for $40. This is
probably fair estimate of the present value
of the old whaling fleet.

The Story of a Prison Warden.
From the Nelc York Tribune


The late Amos Pillsbury, under whose adj
ministration the Albany Penitentiary gained
the reputation of being one of the best man
aged penal institutions in the country, was
man who seemed not to know what fear
was, once heard a friend of his relate an
incident which emphatically attested the
truth of this assertion.
Mr.. Pillsbory was chatting one evening
at social gathering with number of per-
sons, including a captain of the Albany
police. During the conversation the captain
quietly remarked: ''Mr. Pillsbury, see that
Bill - is dead, +" mentioning the name OF q
well-Enown member of the criminal class.
Yes" replied Pillsbury, II read the no
tice of his death and it brought to mind a
rather interesting experience that once had
with him.
This remark aroused the curiosity of his
companions, ana at their solicitation Mr..
Pillsbury related the experience in ques-
ton.
"a good many years ago, won't say
how many, but il was before had seen
much service as prison manager, this Bill
- was sentenced to the Albany peniten-
tiary. He arrived, ugly lips compressed,
brow corrugated, eyes flashing baleful fire.
| was in the office at the time but message
was promptly sent me and l soon faced him.
found that Bill had resolutely declined to
have his hair cut You know wealways cut
prisoners hair as soon as he reaches us.
Well informed him-and | guess my voice
sounded pretty decided--that he must
submit to the rules Of the institution
or take the consequences. He answer
ed, that he'd be d. if he'd have his hair
cut Consequently ordered him put into
one of the dark cells or placed ON starvation
diet-I forget just what-until he should
surrender. 1t was not long before he sent
for me and stated that he'd made up his
mind TO submit. Accordingly | had him
out of his cell and placed in the BARRIERS
hands No sooner, however, was me shorn
of his hair than he turned to me with as
murderous an expression as | ever saw ON
human face and burst out, his voice trem-
bling with passion: You want to look after
me, Amos Pillsbury. If ever get chance
at you, you're dead man.
well, not long after receiving this cheer
full assurance of the place | held in his
regard, the regular barber of the peniten-
tiary fell ill and, on learning that Bill had
once kept 'tonsorial parlor,' decided that
he should take the place of the sick man.
Then there was trouble again. While | was
eating my breakfast the day he was to begin
barbering was summoned to the BARRIERS
shop. | went around and found that his
appointment was giving great dissatisfac
ton. Why! Well, one or two of the men
who were present spoke up and remarked
in Bills presence that they were afraid to
allow such desperate to run a razor over
their faces. That put me on my mettle
